Specialized training for physiotherapists

Update your clinical practice with courses based on evidence and clinical reasoning

WHY TRAIN WITH ME?

The forefront of physiotherapy demands constant updating. As a university lecturer and speaker, I provide training to help professionals implement scientific advances in daily practice, reinforcing concepts such as the therapeutic alliance and exercise program prescription.

Select Therapeutic Exercise Course in Physiotherapy: methodology, tools, and program design

Block 1: Introduction, context, and basic concepts. Block 2: Assessment and planning of the recovery program with clinical safety in mind. Block 3: Basic capacities: strength, control, ROM, and energy support. Key aspects in the recovery process. Patient management. Concepts of programming, periodization, and dose management. Strategies for pain management. Block 4: Exercise design. From basic patterns to complexity and chaos, without overlooking the kinetics and kinematics of movement.

Clinical reasoning in physiotherapy and its transfer to patients’ functional recovery

Motor control and learning

How to use movement for skill learning and functional recovery. Develop the most cutting-edge theoretical aspects of ecological theories and complex dynamic systems, and how they influence our practice. Deepen in constraints and differential learning. Connect this through practical exercises with symptom modification and subsequent variability recovery.

Advanced aspects in strength management

RFD, CEA, breaking, complex training, etc. Characteristics of the practice and its programming.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY IN SEMINARS

The objective is to provide the seminar with a large amount of practical work, with resources and reasoning applicable to patient management in clinical practice

Methodology

After each concept or theory block (every 1 h – 1 h 30’), we conduct a practical session in which the instructor encourages interactive and critical reasoning with the students.

 

There are two types of practical sessions, depending on the training level, related to the clinical cases presented in class:

 

  1. Present various clinical cases and distribute them among the groups:
    a. Address patoanatomy and its determinants in therapeutic exercise.
    b. Apply relevant clinical reasoning and the basic concepts of exercise planning in ET prescription.

  2. Conduct a patient assessment and specific tests:
    a. Anamnesis and influencing factors.
    b. Practice and measure.

  3. Extract different safety parameters:
    a. Design a phased session according to what was explained in class.

  4. Plan the program for these cases: objectives, phase consolidation criteria, re-tests, and progressions.

Practices are carried out with different materials and resources, using the explained exercise parameters and enhancing the ability to generate a wide range of exercises.

 

Related to the concepts covered in class:

 

Reasoning and practicing in relation to aspects such as variability, complexity, kinetics and kinematics, metabolic pathways, force expressions, motor control, and learning, etc.

 

The idea is to allow students to explore and reason in relation to theoretical aspects, fostering more interactive learning between students and instructors.
